This advanced level course is also an introduction to lithographic processes. Students will start by processing and printing images from limestone. We will end the semester by exploring the possibilities of making positive films to expose lithographic plates and color by overprinting. This studio class is structured around a number of projects, each one ending with a group
The class will be concerned with animating inanimate objects by primarily stop motion. Locations will be constructed, objects animated, and lighting explored in order to create the imaginary world. The worlds will be captured via Dragonframe® to create short animations, as well as creating stories by projections of
“One could even compare the function of Renaissance perspective with that of critical philosophy… The result was a translation of psychophysiological space into mathematical space; in other words, an objectification of the subjective.”
